Ranking The Four Quarterbacks Who Are Still Playing

PrintThere are four teams left playing for the 2012 Super Bowl title, which means four quarterbacks to dissect and argue about. Just for the sake of starting a good argument, I ranked the final four quarterbacks in a post today over at SB Nation New York.
Where did I put Eli Manning? This one should actually be easy to figure out. I put Manning No. 2 on the list behind Tom Brady of the New England Patriots. I really don't think there is any way to justify doing anything else.
As for Nos. 3 and 4 I actually put them in the opposite order most would expect. I put San Francisco's Alex Smith third and Baltimore's Joe Flacco fourth, based mostly on Flacco's so-so 2011 season and his unimpressive playoff track record.
Stop on by and read the full reasoning. Also, be sure to check out the SB Nation New York Giants-49ers StoryStream for much more NFC Championship Game coverage.

I don't think there's much debate to this....
I support the Giants like bras support Kim Kardashian's boobs. It can be a struggle, we've had some jiggles, but we're still firm.

Have to disagree
Actually I was going to disagree over Flacco/Smith. Then I pulled their stats and now I have to agree.
Will lightning really strike twice?
Eli's outplayed nearly every QB he's faced

That is Jim Tomsula, niners DL coach.
Did not know you are a fan. Highest win percentage head coach in 49rs history (at 1-0).
Trivia fact - Tomsula was head coach winning World Bowl.
Yeah, there was one like that.
What does that have to do with this game?
This is not the 2007 team.

He looks like Ron Jeremy
Hence the reference.
And, as mentioned, he DOES own the best winning percentage in franchise history.

there's no question that Eli is a top 5 QB...
Aside from Brady, Brees, Payton Manning (when healthy) and maybe.. just maybe Rodgers…who else would you rather have under center? The only ones that won’t agree are the haters that can’t stand that Eli, without emotions and with “luck” has won a SuperBowl MVP. Oh.. and those ex-football players turned tv talking heads who still don’t think Eli is elite cause hedoesn’t have the headline grabbing monster numbers or hollywood celebrities…. I’ll take Eli and his “oh shuks” attitude any day over the other 29 QB’s…

tom brady stands next to joe montana
he shouldnt be aloud to be compared to active qbs…
eli is obviously ahead of smith and flacco. I think smith is gonna be a good one. hes finally starting to throw the ball like a number 1 overall pick, and hes got himself in a great system with a great team. i never liked flacco. hes just, eh.
by The Blood of Eli on Jan 19, 2012 9:26 AM EST reply actions
Umm..NO.
The only reason Brady would stand next to Montana for anything is to get his autograph. Having someone like Brady compared to Montana always pisses me off. One guy led his team to 4 SB’s on the strengths of his arm, the other to 3 SB’s on the strength of the system. One guy actually won SB’s with his arm, the other drove 30 yards and prayed his kicker bailed him out twice. And only one of them has a cloud of controversy hanging over his career due to the Tuck Rule, the 2003 AFC title game, and Spygate. And that ain’t Joe.

Wait a minute now? That’s what time does to people. Other than the “miracle” year of the catch, the 49ers were stacked from head to toe. Great defense, great offensive lines, and more than adequate running games. Montana is great, but if all we are going off of is 4 SB’s, then why isn’t Bradshaw? It’s the same reason that Jordan is considered the greatest of all time even though a solid argument can be made for a few other players. The rise of sports in the media.
Can I get some hot sauce for my doughnut?
I see where you're going with it
Even if I disagree.
I think the mythology around Montana (who I honestly believe WAS the GOAT) was because he played his biggest in huge moments, was incredibly clutch, and led a lot of 4th quarter comebacks. I think that’s what’s rare, and, while their defense WAS very good during that era, it really only had one superstar (you know who) and bipolar Charles Haley.
Montana also made decent receivers good, good receivers great, and Rice the GOAT at his position. And, having grown up on him, he was just magical to watch in a way that defies description.

Speaking as a Niner fan...
I never got the distinct impression from watching that David Carr knew either the personnel, or the offense.
Baas, however, will probably be useful to you guys.
Not surprised to see you in the post-season- throughout the year, I kept watching the Giants and thinking “they’re better than this…they just need to turn it on.” Apparently they did.
Congrats on a good season, though for obvious reasons, I cannot wish you any further luck.

Totally agree Ed
Ive been saying long before this season that the only reason Smith looks like such a bust is his terrible organisation, now he has some good coaches who believe in him he’s looking quite alright
Lost in the playoffs of the BBV fantasy league and ended 3rd overall! Team Figging lived on with its 9-5 regular season record. Beat the (Insert Giants Opponent Here) were just too good to beat.
It's interesting
Before this season/the Saints game, I think Smith would have been the consensus #4 QB. Now, I think he’s earned #3. I also will reluctantly admit that Eli has been underrated for the past couple years, except for the INT buffet he served up last season. His last post-season run was impressive.
I don’t know how high his ceiling is, and obviously, I am biased on the matter, but if he improves again from this year to next, he could be a legit NFL baller.

Doesn't seem like that will be an issue
The pressure will be to go to the Super frickin Bowl in your first year as the head coach.
Ryan Miller was the true MVP. See my profile for rant.
All possible matchups
Have pretty great storylines.
1) The Brothers Bowl.
2) Pats-Giants rematch.
3) Ravens-Giants revenge bowl now that Ray Lewis is old and broken down.
OR:
4) Tom Brady versus his hometown team. If it came down to that, we’d probably recruit Joe Montana to stand on our sidelines, and tell Brady during pre-game warmups that he dislikes him personally, causing him to pass poorly, because tears will be streaming from his eyes.
I’m pretty excited. We will see you Sunday!

kinda sorta almost in a slight way,think this team is gonna be special ,but dont quote me on it .....im drunk
They also have Lee Evans
I great down the field deep weapon if they ever used him

"We borrowed golf from the Scottish as we borrowed whiskey. Not because it is Scottish, but because it is good." Horace Hutchinson

Isn't it the head coach
He’s bought into the whole defense with a game manager idea. Flacco has plenty of talent. He’s big and strong, has a good arm, pretty accurate and he’s mobile. But they want it both ways, they want to give Rice 30 touches and THEN have Flacco bail them out when it flounders.
That just doesn’t work. If he’s a game manager let him throw screens on 3rd and 15 and criticize Rice and the OL for not getting it done. Or install an offense that’s balanced, use 3 WR on first down to shake teams up, etc etc.
Eli is our King!
Thank you.
I think Flacco is a very good QB who will continue to grow. They need to let him open it up a little more so every time he needs to pick up a long third down it isn’t unchartered territory for him. Let the guy get comfortable throwing it alot.
Wins matter, especially playoff wins. That argument has always been used ’round these parts with Eli so it counts for Flacco too, IMO. And Flacco has a bunch of them.
"We borrowed golf from the Scottish as we borrowed whiskey. Not because it is Scottish, but because it is good." Horace Hutchinson

teams with great defenses
want their QBs to manage the game. They don’t want to take risks on offense. The same happened with the Jets. Although, this season the Jets D wasn’t very good.
Jacobs to Eli: You're a beast, man. I can't say that enough!
It's never QB
It’s always QB- Coach (offense)
You think Rodgers is putting up numbers in Baltimore, I doubt it, that’s an offense where QBs go to die. Would Flacco perform as well in GB? I don’t know, but it’s amazing how Smith adjusted when they actually installed an offense.
Eli is our King!
Rodgers would still have posted a high rating but his yards would be lower because the Ravens actually run the ball.
I don’t get the “Smith had many OC” argument that people put out there. If it was really the rotating OCs that were holding him back then he would suck again this year because he has a new coaching staff. I will buy into that theory if he has a good year next season. For now…I see him as a QB who is on a team with a good defense that runs the ball well. He isn’t making mistakes but he hasn’t been asked to win many games before the Saints game. I think that the 49ers are probably just as surprised by his performance on Saturday as the fans and the media were.
nywins42 needs a new screen name - "nywins46" sounds great!
Just ordered FatHeads for all available Giants. Now I have something to aim at when punching holes in my wall.
I agree about the OCs
And I don’t see the Niners enough to judge, but the games I saw prior to this season looked like a circus on offense. Harbaugh to his credit has tightened discipline, brought an identity and played to the teams strengths instead of his desire. That makes all the difference for a young QB.
As for Rodgers, I think he’d be a winner in Balt. But he might easily be one of those middle of the road guys that you don’t notice. He would make some plays, but no QB can do what they ask in Baltimore. It’s like they only want to give the QB the ball when they have to, and it’s the highest level of difficulty. That is going to make any QB look worse than he is.
Eli is our King!
I can't argue with the ranking..
I do think Eli is tougher than Brady…but you can’t argue the numbers he’s posted…They simplified things for Smith and he seems to have performed postively..Flacco his taking alot of heat…That lambasting he took from Reed this week didn’t help..The media vultures jumped all over that…I don’t see them beating the Patriots…So we’ll meet for a rematch…

Smart play
But I’m already on my way to propose. In the interest of fairness though, you have now been told.
May the best man be escorted off her property by security first…

I hope you're the best man then
I have no intention of being escorted off her property.

Me neither
I was trying to set you up, then meet her the following day under casual circumstances, allowing her to tell me her “this crazy guy” story, after which she would then fall into my arms…

I lived in Brooklyn for three years, and beg to differ. I have also been to New Jersey, which is further evidence against your theory.

Can't get past my huge something
nywins42 needs a new screen name - "nywins46" sounds great!
Just ordered FatHeads for all available Giants. Now I have something to aim at when punching holes in my wall.
Funny story
Back in 2004, I “dated” a girl that says she was related to Giant ownership (I still debate to myself if it was true or not). I don’t know if it was the Tisch or Mara side (I never got her last name). Who knows what could of been if I was still “dating” her.

my roommates frat brother
used to date Steve Tisch’s niece. I went out with them and her and Al Franken’s daughter one night. The niece was busted, but Franken’s daughter is hot.
Busted...
But rich and box seats to Giants games… Jump on the grenade my friend.

I had a similar situation on Monday
I was having lunch at a local restaurant. My server made a comment “I’m really tired. I couldn’t sleep because I was angry from watching the game”. I asked which game. She said Packers. I yelled in the restaurant “MY GIANTS, WHOPPED YOUR PACKERS”.
Jacobs to Eli: You're a beast, man. I can't say that enough!
Haha!!..I hope she didn't spill anything on you..lol!!!

I'll take Eli today, no question
Stats are relevant to a set groupings, but not the only factors in rankings. The offensive personnel and philosophies of these teams are so different. What Eli is doing with this team is unbelievable. New o’line, new TE, new WR, injuries everywhere, all of the.comebacks.
I’ll take Eli today. Brady had a greater body of work and a HOF, but Eli is as good as anyone.

That's pretty good
I like it even better than the Denver-Pittsburgh wild card game: “Deebo vs. Tebow”

In more support of Eli
Eli is 6-3 in the playoffs and I believe the Giants were only favored in 1 of his 6 wins. Crazy!
by Giant Ken on Jan 19, 2012 11:27 AM EST via mobile reply actions
Let's say Giants go all the way this year.
Eli should tell Peyton: “From now on when you see my number on Caller ID, I expect you to answer on the ‘2nd ring’”.

ESPN, not for me
Do you ever tell GraZiano that his lack of knowledge about the team has convinced many of us that he doesn’t actually watch the games? I read his blog for inside info, but his analysis and assertions about the players seem almost random.
Eli is our King!

Straight homerism
But I’ll take Eli v any of these guys in a playoff game.
You down wit JPP?
I got 99 problems but a Vick ain't one!
All I have to say about Eli is
ELI DOESN’T SMILE, ELI JUST WINS

In these playoffs..
Eli has been better than Brady by far. Brady played against a D2 caliber team with a High School caliber QB.
